10th place – View of Istanbul from the Bosphorus Strait, Türkiye
Well, Türkiye – is not only a mass destination for inexpensive tourism, but also beautiful views of the country's attractions. But Turkey has beautiful views, and there are views of Istanbul, the best of which opens from the Bosphorus Strait, which divides the capital into 2 parts. From one bank, you can see beautiful landscapes, graceful houses and magnificent mosques of Turkey. The key word here is "mosques", because they are what give the city such a look that it was able to get into the top ten.
9th place – Machu Pichu ruins, Peru
Although Peru differs from Turkey, first of all, in that it takes much longer and is more expensive to get here, it is still worth visiting this country, at least to see the ruins of the town of Machu Pichu with a mysterious history. This city is located high in the mountains, surrounded on all sides by steep and sheer cliffs, and clouds fly right above the tops of the ruins.
8th place – View of Sydney from Tooronga Zoo
The city of Sydney, towering over the land with unique architectural complexes, is simply beautiful in itself. But the view of the city from the Tooronga Zoo across the bay, dotted with yachts, is truly worthy of the top ten views in the world.

4th place – View of Hong Kong, Vietnam
